What owners wrote
On two occasions my 2004 volkswagen touareg v-8 experienced complete electrical system failures. The vehicle would not start on these two occasions. There was no electrical power as if the battery were completely depleted. I did not cause any electrical/battery drain, I.e. Leaving on lights or leaving any electrical equipment on. Local VW dealership service conducted an analysis and found several faults stored.
Airbag module defective with only 54,496 miles and a $1200 cost to fix. This is a safety issue! Dash lighting has went on and off for airbag. A washer pump defective, power train transmission jumps and has been an ongoing problem and known problem by volkswagen but nobody wants to admit the defect problem.
